Whether you’re waving a lighter at a concert or slow-dancing at high-school prom, nothing beats a great power ballad. But which one is the most powerful of them all?
The folks at Ultimate Classic Rock have ranked the 50 greatest power ballads of all time – with Prince’s “Purple Rain” topping the list.
They write “The emotion, the pageantry, the sheer epic-ness of it all – there’s simply no power ballad in rock history that compares…”
Other songs in the top 10 – Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain”, Night Ranger’s “Sister Christian”, and Meat Loaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”.
